New site member benefit!

Click on the forum link to see a new list of member-supplied family names, location and subjects of interest. If you become a site member, simply put the family names and subjects of interest in the box marked Personal or answer the question "Are you researching a specific person?"

That’s all there is to it. From then on, each time I’m deciding whether to type an article, I will check the list. If the name requested is on that list, I will type that article. And Mik is working on a way to notify each member every time an article is typed that includes your particular search terms. Life is good! Become a member today!

Heck, this is such important news that I will include the lists of names, locations and keywords here as well:
